Concept, design & realisation

The website was created by ncm.at, specialists in successful websites for the tourism industry. The conceptual design, production and online marketing follow a shared strategy, the logic of success: website, marketing and monitoring, which transform website visitors into hotel guests. The website conveys three things: information, emotions and a call for action. Combined with a user-friendly web design and in line with the Google Webmaster Guidelines, the website becomes the perfect basis for successful online marketing and search engine optimisation.

Online marketing

This website is overseen and continually developed by the Online Marketing Team at ncm.at. Where required, online advertising campaigns, for example with Google AdWords, supplement the online marketing. The website itself is the basis for this. It is designed and optimised for search engines in accordance with the Google Webmaster Guidelines. The content is constantly expanded by editors to fit the current requirements of the users. This guarantees that search engines can find, read and interpret the website content optimally.

Use of Pinterest

Plugins from the social network Pinterest Inc., 635 High Street, Palo Alto, CA, 94301, USA are integrated onto our website. You can recognise the Pinterest plugin by the "Pin it Button" on our website. If you click the Pinterest "Pin it Button" while you are logged into your Pinterest account, you can link the content of our site to your Pinterest profile. This means Pinterest can assign the visit to our website to your user account. We hereby refer to the fact that we, as the supplier of the website, receive no notification of the content of submitted data or its use by Pinterest. You can find more information on the Data Protection Declaration of Pinterest here.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

Our website also uses social plugins provided by the facebook.com social network, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). These plugins can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs-up" sign) or are marked as "Facebook social plugin". The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be seen here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

If you access one of our web pages containing such a plugin, your browser will establish a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin will be communicated directly from Facebook to your browser and embedded in the website. As a result, we have no influence on the extent of data, which Facebook collects using this plugin and would therefore like to clarify how we believe the system works:

By incorporating the plugin, Facebook obtains the information that you have accessed from our website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can allocate the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, this information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and saved there. If you do not have a Facebook account, there is still the possibility that Facebook will ascertain and save your IP address.

The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook and your related rights and privacy options can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our Internet site and link this with your membership data stored at Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins for your browser, by using the "Facebook Blocker" for example.

Use of Google +1 Button

This Internet site uses the "+1" button of the Google Plus social network, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). The button is recognisable from the "+1" symbol on a white or coloured background.

If you open a web page with such a button on our Internet site, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the "+1" button will be communicated directly from Google to your browser and embedded in the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of data that Google collects using the button, but assume that this includes your IP address being saved.

The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google and your related rights and privacy options can be found in Google's privacy policy regarding the "+1" button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html

If you are a Google Plus member and do not want Google to collect data about you via our Internet site and link this with your membership data stored at Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.

Use of the Twitter Tweet Button

This Internet site uses the "Tweet" button of the Twitter social network, operated by Twitter Inc., 750 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States ("Twitter"). The button is recognisable from the dark-blue bird and the word "Tweet" on a light-blue background.

If you open a web page with such a button on our Internet site, your browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter's servers. The content of the "Twitter" button will be communicated directly from Twitter to your browser and embedded in your Twitter message. We therefore have no influence on the extent of data that Twitter collects using the button, but assume that this includes your IP address being saved.

The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Twitter and your related rights and privacy options can be found in Twitter's privacy policy: http://twitter.com/privacy.

If you are a Twitter member and do not want Twitter to collect data about you via our Internet site and link this with your membership data stored at Twitter, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website.

Cookie-Guidelines

What are cookies and why do websites use them?

Cookies are used to ensure the best possible use and depiction of the website. Cookies are small data packages that are sent to the user's browser when visiting a website and saved there. This information can be sent back to the web server each time the website is visited.

Cookies are used to save personal page settings as the websites do not have data storage of their own. They can also be used to identify users and collect their user behaviour. Cookies fulfil a wide range of purposes and therefore differ by function, life span and source. For example, there are temporary and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies are either automatically deleted after a period of time defined within the cookie or at the end of the browser session. Permanent cookies are saved in the browser permanently.

These are not necessarily needed to make the website work, but fundamentally improve the usability during a user's visit to the website.
